What is Being Done by the COunty
COnYictS.
Charlotte ObScrrcr.


II Is becoming common orcui renee 10 sec
the gang of county cOnriciS, commonly
known rs the "chain gang" marching through
the city morning and evening, and 1t is con-
Stant source OF comment that the system
should, or should not bc, abolished. OF one
thing, however there can be little doubt. and
that is. that Charlotte township is deriving
some substantial benefits from the working Of
roads. The bad roads leading into the city
have been rcproacll to our citizens and a
drawback TO the business interests OF our city
for q long time, and any system that looks TO
must necessarily hc of interest TO our people.
While the chain gang is not sufficiently large
iO accomplish any very great results. II mas
been demonstrated that hy their JndiciouS use
much has been accomplished in the way Of
Improving our public highways. The average
fnrcc of tlrp gang hnS been about twenty, ana
the most impartant work done by them is ON
the lawyers road. Work has been going on
for some time past on the section of this road
between the creek. near the corporate line.
and the Torrcnce place, and In day or so the
mincadamZng will he completed. We are i'll
formed that the work done Is of q superior
character: that IT. will last for years, and that
the expense has hccn comparatively small,
when the nature Of the work Is considered.
The distance over which the work extends Is
about three quarters OF emile, ana the entire
expense OF blasting rocks. hiring teams. work
Ing ihe convicis. etc, will not exceed 1000.
There was proposition before the county
commissioners at their last meeting to furnish
convicts from one Of the ne.hboring c0un-
ties, but the pronosltion was not entertained
by the hoard. We do not propose to discuss
tho wisdom of the action OF the board In this
matter but we are Of the opinion that the on
ly hope our people have nf ever securing good
roads lies in this very question OF work Ing
convict labor. The common plan OF taxation
has proven miserable failure The tax has
been n heavy burden on our people, and not Il
mile of good road In tho county can lac shown
as result of the tnNntion plan. We believe
! If fair tial Is given To the working OF con.
virts 1t will nc demonstrated that hcttcr roads
will he had at less cost To the tax payers. Let
! the system no given n fair trial. The only
trouble now Is that the number of cnnvicts is
too small. Fifty or one hundred could he
worked as chcaply rs the present small force,
with the exception Of the item Of rations.

An Honest Love Letter and an Hon
est Answer.


Dear lady. will you kindly lend
Attention for q while?
I'm not the man tn sue or Smirk,
To gain n fair ones smiles
TIN far too dull to act The spark.
Too blunt to pay the beau.
I'll ask question, plain and brief,
Just anSwcr-yes or no.
Ieannot rave rs lovers rave,
Nor swear MS lovers swear:
NV wav is lust to pass my word.
And keep II fair and square,
I'm hut an honest business man,
As all NV dealings show,
And clinch bargain ut the start
With simple-yes or no.
MY tongue is not attune1 to talk
or lovers smartS and darts;
I only know the honest way
or joining honest hearts.
The deepest waters quiet sleep;
The shallow, mnrmuring low,
So all the VOW rive or ask
Is brietly-yes or no.
I love you-thaEs the simple truth;
Hove you as my life!
And nll have or hope to gain
I'd give to call you wife
I've loved you siucc the day we met,
Twas juSt q year ago.
And after thinking for a year
ASK yOu-ycS Or ITO.
] do not promise that your life
Shall he dream OF bliss,
Con't pretend that all my cares
win vanish at your kiss.
They're pretty sure TO miss the mark
Who draw too long bow:
sSk yon, will You take the chance?
Just answer-yes or no.
My heart. my fortune, home and name
ask Won then to share,
II you'll accept I'll be rcjOiced,
If not won't despair.
He's but a fool who stakes his all
Upon n single throw;
If you won't have me, some one will;
SO 1t ts-yes or no
ANSWER TO ayes OR so"
Dear friend, I've listened to your suit;
You've asked me yes or no:
I'm not the girl to act the flint
70 gain q transient beau.
Nm the maid to turn away
In anger and disgust,
The man who simply asks my hand
In good and loving trust.
] cannot frisl1 as coquettes frisk,
Nor do MS traitors do:
Nv word is simple and my bond,
And shall he so TO you.
I'm but II plain and honest girl
At least try To be:
Whatever answer J shall give,
You can depend Ua ME.
like TO think Of honest men
OF men whose hearts are true:
know their word will do to take,
And such I know are yon.
Yonvc asked me To t,ceome yonr wife
That's NIL should have heard;
] know you mean just what YOU say,
For you have passed your word.
Ynn've told me that for one long year
You've loved me as your life
Now in answering "ycS or no"
tell you 'tls no strife.
+"Che deepest waters quiet sleep,
The shallow. mnrmuring low -
All The answer 81 give or ask
Is briehy--yes or TO"
If say "yes' you'll he rejoiced;
You'll not despair If "no;"
That's not the way I must be loved
BY him who Is my beau.
You re "but an honest business man,
AS all your dealings show"
But now, young man. I'm not for sale,
Ianswer brief1y-No.
